Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here. In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didnt know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say,” I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “Im tired”. One day, someone greeted me with “Whats up?” It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didnt know what to say.Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”. I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and thats it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.48. What does the word “confused” in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese ?A. 困惑 B. 憧憬 C. 悲痛 D. 后悔49. A good US student spends his / her time _ .A. only in doing homework B. on studies, sports or music and public workC. only in working for the public D. only on sports or music 50. Which of the following is NOT true ?A. The writer is now in US. B. American girls love to have white skin.C. US students are talented and hard working. D. The writer regrets that he gave up playing the piano. C The Guidance Department （教导处）at Berryville High School has a staff of eleven teachers. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too. “Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram（图表）.”says Mildred Freman, head of the Guidance. “This diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May. ” September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules. October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. “Its the holiday. ”Ms Foreman says, “People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Years Day. ” Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks bring parents in as school opens again. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the years busiest month. Thats when parents begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June. 51. The teachers in the Guidance Department usually _. A. do most of their work for the students B. answer all the questions from parents C. help other teachers get along with students and parents D. only bring report cards to students and parents 52. In December parents usually _. A. stay at home with their children for their holidays B. wait for the teachers to bring report cards to their children C. wouldnt like to visit the teachers in the Guidance Department D. let teachers have a good rest during their holidays 53.

Which of the following is Right? A. In June the school decides who will stay in the same grade again. B. Almost all the parents come to meet Mildred Foreman every month. C. April is also the second busiest month for the staff. D. The parents help to do most of the work for the staff. D Where in the world can you take an hours train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? Theres only one place, and thats Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景） in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA. A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isnt quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones. The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them. Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they dont need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost. But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.55. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is _.A. a very large park B. a busy London streetC. a famous movie company D. an old Hollywood movie56. The movie industry in California isnt as successful as before because _.A. young people dont go to movie theatres any moreB. there is strong competition from other statesC. its movie companies are in neeed of young starsD. the state hasnt put a development plan into action57. Which of the following seems to be a threat（威胁）to Hollywood？A. The use of modern cameras and other equipmentB. The interest of middle-aged film starsC. The making of TV series like Dynasty D. The expensively made copies of scenes第二卷（非选择题，共40分）五、单词拼写 （本大题共8分，每小题1分）（A）根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1. This pair of boots looks very _ (时尚的).2. Make sure that you write down all the _ names on the list.
